The Official Blue Jays Managerial Candidate Bracket

After seeing the ongoing parade of candidates to take over as the new manager for the Toronto Blue Jays, I commented on Twitter yesterday how things are starting to look like a March Madness bracket.

Well, low and behold here is a visual aid to help keep track of all the candidates: your official Blue Jays Managerial Candidate Bracket.

Notice how three names have already been crossed off the list: Rick Renteria, Eric Wedge and Tim Bogar. They have either kept their respective jobs (Tim Bogar), taken new positions within their organization (Rick Renteria) or are now coaching the Seattle Mariners (Eric Wedge).

Things will likely be fast and furious over the next few weeks as the Blue Jays finally begin to whittle down the 24 candidates to a select few. Stay tuned here for updates to the Blue Jays Managerial Candidate Bracket as we will eventually crown a winner!

On the flip side, I don't think Wakamatsu, Hurdle, Baylor and Samuel will be hired. All of them have the stink of failure fresh on them, and it's not like any of them have the Torre-like hint of a past World Series championship as a manager to keep (stupid) teams interested in them.

Steve, at first I wasn't quite sure what to think about Alomar Jr. as manager, but now I'm really warming up to it. Especially since Alex Anthopoulos said he's willing to take a chance on a guy who hasn't managed a team before.

Plus, it also opens the door for Roberto to come in at a later date as the hitting coach.
